So, on thursday it was the grand opening of guess what????? Yup, Krispy Kreme just opened up a store here in Daejeon on Thursday. So being the Americans that we are, a group of us went right after bfast. To our amazement, there was already a line. So we join the line and wait for the store to open. This is 8:35 when we get there. So we wait, and wait, and wait. We hope it opens at 9:00. Not so....and all this time it's raining as well. As we look inside, we see about 12 employees getting ready for their big grand opening. Here in Korea, when a new store opens its a huge deal and they have to have a lot of fanfare.
So, we wait in the rain till 10:00 when they finally open. And man is it glorious! When we walk in they offer us a free hot doughnut. Mmmmm, just like home. So we all got our doughnuts and went back to the school.
Yeah, so, we were probably crazy to wait an hour and half in the rain for krispy kreme.....but we were the first foreigners in the new kripy kreme here. How many people can say that. Also, what an experience.
As for this weekend, it's been good so far. Last night I went out to eat and had some squid bulgogi. Bulgogi is a beef dish here, but this one had squid in it as well. We didn't know it when we ordered it. But it was still good. Then I went to a lock-in with the youth from CIC. CIC stands for Christian International Church. It's the church I go to here. The lock-in was fun. Played games like dutch-blitz, and guesstures. It was a good time. Got back to my apartment at like 3:30 in the morning! But didn't get up till 12:00 today. So that was nice. Then the rest of this weekend starting tonight I work....so yeah, keep in touch and hope life is treating you well.
Blessings
